You won't get gcc to compile without quite a bit of hacking.  I have
made some progress (by writing my own mips-sgi-irix5 config files),
but have run into problems with the assembler not understanding the
.section option: 
    ./xgcc -B./  -DIN_GCC   -g -I. -I. -I./config -I/usr/include -DCRT_BEGIN \
      -finhibit-size-directive -g0 -c ./crtstuff.c -o crtbegin.o
    as0: Error: ./crtstuff.c, line 1:undefined assembler operation: .section
          .section .ctors,"a",@progbits
    as0: Error: ./crtstuff.c, line 1:undefined assembler operation: .section
          .section .dtors,"a",@progbits
    make: *** [crtbegin.o] Error 1

I have just upgraded to the production release of IRIX 5.1, so will
probably start hacking on it again in another couple of days (although
I don't have much hope since it is the assembler blowing up and not
gcc).
